  #django pondering of the week. Does anyone know if widget templates were explicitly considered when adding the Form Renderer classes to core? ie were they A) not considered, B) postponed for a future improvement or C) considered and explicitly rejected from being included? Allowing those templates to be customised via that class feels like a very natural improvement to me, but I know I haven't considered every angle.

  @adamghill @sjbitcode hey I have a vaguely random question related to Django stickers. How much would it cost me (or more precisely my company) to commission some custom sticker designs? Thanks Andy

  Well that's a wrap for @djangoconeurope 2026 this year (for me at least, I'm sad I had to leave before the sprints) So great to catch up with friends and make some new ones! As well some amazing talks the keep pushing #Django forward. and I got to speak twice! One lighting talk and a last minute cancelation meant I got to give my talk as well. See you in 2027 (...but hopefully before!)
